Up to four core modules may be chosen as profile modules from the core module catalogue of another Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme of the faculty 09. Profile modules may be chosen from courses offered by other faculties of the JLU or other universities as far as their scope and study-accompanying examination option corresponds to the modules in these regulations. The selection of courses from other faculties requires the approval of the examination board.

(2) In the Bachelor’s programme only modules at Bachelor’s level can be completed, in the Master’s programme only modules at Master’s level.

(3) One of the modules in the Bachelor’s programme may consist of examined and graded courses in the field of Professional and Interdisciplinary Skills (AfK) to the extent of 6 CP.

(4) In the Master’s programme, certain module combinations may be identified as a specialization in the diploma in accordance with Appendix 5.

(5) Students must create a study and examinations schedule with their choice of profile modules. The study and examination schedule list the profile modules and their respective allocation by semester. In order to set up a study and examinations schedule the student can, if desired, arrange a consultation appointment with the degree programme coordinator. The study and examinations schedule may be changed by the student. Modules listed in the study and examinations schedule with completed examinations and modules which are registered for the exam without the possibility to withdraw (§12 (2)) cannot be removed from the study and examinations schedule. This means that profile modules can no longer be changed after having failed.

(6) Students may sit examinations in modules other than those they are required to take during their course of study. Credits from extracurricular courses do not count towards the formation of the overall grade. Upon successful completion of an additional module, the respective results are to be listed in a separate certificate.

§ 9 (to § 9 AIIB) Modules

(1) Students register for modules in the previous semester. Students in their first semester can register for modules at the beginning of the lecture period. (2) In modules with restricted capacity the places available are allocated in accordance to the students’ course of study plans (§ 8 (5)). In this procedure, students in advanced semesters are considered first. In case students have the same number of semesters and the module capacity offers a smaller number of places selection is made by the drawing of lots.

§ 10 (to § 10 AIIB) Internships

(1) Students may choose module BP 144 or MP 196 for their study and examinations schedule. With this choice the internship is mandatory. However, the internship has to be carried out independently from other modules and from the Bachelor’s Thesis.

(2) Suitable companies or organizations for the internship who guarantee qualified supervision of the students are from the fields of Agricultural sciences, Nutritional sciences, Home Economics and Nutritional Sciences and Environmental Sciences according to the chosen course of study. The companies and organizations have to be considered qualified and have to be approved in advance by the Internship Office of the Faculty 09. In case of doubt, the Examination Board decides on the suitability.

(3) The minimum duration of the internship shall be 9 weeks. The duration of the daily work time complies with the conditions of the individual company or organization. Times of absence have to be made up, also if they are due to illness. The internship may be carried out in at maximum two different companies or organizations. In this case one part shall have a duration of at least four weeks.

(4) In order to have the internship recognized, the student shall submit the following documents to the internship office for each section:

9

a) a qualified internship certificate of the company or institution stating the period of the internship and the tasks and activities carried out by the student

b) the internship report (reflection paper) on the tasks, activities, knowledge and skills acquired during the traineeship, which must be endorsed as accurate by the company.

§ 11 (to § 18 Paragraph 7, § 23 and § 24 AIIB) Modes of Examination

(1) Further possible forms of examination in addition to the forms of examination mentioned in the General Regulations are written examination, oral examination and seminar paper:

- speech (oral presentation of the results, possibly supported by a presentation)

- written essay (text document that comprehensively explains the question to be answered)

- working on tasks (detailed, complete and correct presentation of the required content)

- project work (preparation of papers or documents on a specific task, e.g. internship report, excursion report, laboratory protocol, herbarium).

(2) Examinations include the answering of a task or several questions. The exam takes a minimum of 45 minutes and a maximum of 90 minutes.

(3) Oral examinations shall be conducted by two examiners as the examination of an individual or as a group examination. The duration of an oral examination shall at least be 15 minutes and at maximum 30 minutes per examinee. In case of group examinations each examinee shall be examined this time-span.

§ 12 (to § 17 Paragraph 3 AIIB) Prerequisites

(1) Modules or parts of modules which are held as lectures and tutorials do not require attendance.

(2) In modules or parts of modules which are carried out as seminars, internships or projects, regular attendance is a prerequisite of your examination. Regular participation is always a given if at least half of the course dates have been attended and no more than two classes have been missed without proper justification. In the case of further absences due to no fault of the student, the teacher shall decide whether and in what way the missed classes can be made up for: compensatory assessment or by attending other classes.

(3) Differing regulations, which further reduce compulsory attendance, can be made by the teacher in accordance with the module and agreed at the first module session.

§ 13 (to § 19 AIIB) Repeat Examinations

(1) If the first repeat examination is taken in the second examination period according to § 17 (1) and is not passed the student may apply for a second repeat examination after she/he has again participated in the module. The examination will then be taken in the following first examination period. This application has to be submitted to the examination office at the latest 10 days before the date of the third examination period.

(2) For the last repeat of an examination the person responsible for the module and the examinee may agree on a different mode of examination.

§ 14 Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis

(1) The Bachelor’s or Master’s study programme is considered to be passed if all modules have been awarded the grade "sufficient" or better.

(2) The overall grade results from the average grades awarded for all modules completed in accordance with § 6 (3) or § 7 (3). For this, the achieved grades are multiplied by the corresponding module credit points and its sum is divided by the total of all credits. The achieved credits for the Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis are weighted with the factor 2.

(3) Additionally tested modules pursuant to § 8 (6) shall not be included in the calculation of the overall grade.

10

§ 15 (to § 21 AIIB) Thesis

(1) The thesis consists of a written component and an oral component (colloquium). The thesis shall demonstrate that the candidate is capable of independently solving a clearly defined problem from within the relevant field of study by the application of scholarly methods within a certain period of time.

(2) Those students may be admitted to the Bachelor’s thesis who can verify that they have successfully completed ten core competence modules and five profile modules. The Master’s thesis can be registered at the earliest when six core modules have been completed. Thesis title and date of issuance shall be recorded by the examination office.

(3) The candidate is given the opportunity to suggest a topic. Upon request, the Chair of the Board of Examiners shall ensure that the candidate receives a topic within one month.

(4) The period allowed for preparing the Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis is six months. The topic must be narrowed down that it can be fully processed within a period of 360 hours for a Bachelor’s thesis and a workload of 720 hours for a Master’s thesis.

§ 17 (to § 21 AIIB) Thesis – Oral Part and Overall Assessment

(1) The thesis is evaluated by two examiners according to § 18 (2) HHG (Hessian Higher Education Act). One of the examiners has to be a professor.

(2) If the written part of the thesis was assessed with a grade of at least “sufficient”, then the student shall present the essential results employed in his/her thesis in a colloquium. The colloquium shall be conducted no later than six weeks after the assessment of the written thesis has been communicated to the student. The examiners shall be the two scholars who assessed and graded the thesis according to § 18 (2) HHG.

(3) The duration of the colloquium shall be at least 20 minutes and no more than 30 minutes for Bachelor’s students. For Master’s students the colloquium shall be at least 30 minutes and shall not exceed 45 minutes. The date of the colloquium is determined by the examiners.

(4) The colloquium may be repeated once if graded “fail”. This case does not permit the rewriting of the thesis.

(5) Members and affiliates of the university are permitted to attend the colloquium. If the presentation is disrupted, the Examining Committee may exclude the public.

(6) The overall grade of the thesis is determined as the average obtained from grades of the written thesis and the colloquium. The grade of the written Bachelor’s thesis shall, however, be counted twice and the grade of the colloquium be counted single. The grade of the written Master’s thesis shall, however, be counted thrice and the grade of the colloquium be counted single. The thesis is deemed to be “passed” if the written thesis and the colloquium are each awarded a grade of at least “sufficient”.

§ 18 (to § 25 AIIB) Examination Periods and Deadlines

1) Examinations concluding modules shall be conducted within the stipulated examination periods. There are three examination periods:

1. As a general rule, the first examination period is in the last week of the lecture period and in the first week of the lecture-free period of a semester.

2. The second examination period is in the week prior to commencement of the lecture period of the following semester.

3. The third examination period is in the sixth week after lectures have commenced in the following semester.

(2) The students may sit their module-concluding examinations in the first or second examination period. The third examination period is only for re- and repeat examinations. The examination periods shall be determined by the Board of Examiners.

(3) The registration deadlines for the examinations are set by the Board of Examiners and are announced by the Examination Office. In the case of block modules or the provision of partial credit, the registration deadlines may be shortened or postponed by the Board of Examiners.

11

(4) Withdrawal from an initial registration is possible within the registration period without giving reasons. Withdrawal is not possible in the case of re- and repeat examinations.

§ 19 (to § 27 AIIB) Recognition of Academic Achievements

(1) If study and examination achievements are recognized for lateral entrants, the grades – insofar as the grading systems are comparable – must be adopted and included in the calculation of the overall grade in accordance with the examination regulations. In the case of incomparable grading systems, the note ”passed” is applied. A mark of recognition shall be included in the certificate.

§ 20 Implementation of Regulations

These regulations are valid from the winter semester 2019/20. At the same time the Special Regulations from 26 November 2014, which was last amended by resolution from 20 June 2018 (MUG 7.35.09 No. 1 / No. 2 of 10.10.18), shall cease to apply.
